Ho Peggy, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone 'harming' a Pc by installing
the wrong ram? Usually it either works or you wind up with a no boot situation
that requires resetting the BIOS.. no biggee there tho...If Crucial says their
ram should work, AND if they'll refund your $$ if it doesn't, then I'd be
trusting them. Personally, I've been using Kingston Value Ram for the last year
now and it seems to be the most 'forgiving' ram around....some of the guys I
know that are heavy into overclocking and games swear by this ram..you might
check them out..or if you send me the info on the old machine I could find out
for you...either way I think the idea that you'd harm the PC by trying this is
pretty slim...especially if it's coming as a recommendation from a reliable ram
manufacturer.
HTH,
Bruce

Subject: [CTS] RAM
I am working with an older Gateway computer that needs more RAM. Gateway
says they don't manufacture RAM for this particular model any more. I looked
at the RAM avaiilable at Crucial.com, plus have spoken with them. They have
RAM that they say 'should' work in this Gateway.
In the past, I've accidentally installed the wrong RAM in a PC, and all that
happened is the PC wouldn't boot. However, I've been told that the Gateway
could be harmed if I get this RAM from Crucial and install it.
Any advice/opinions?
Thanks
Peggy G
